President Kelly called the meeting to order at 2:15 P.M. with Directors Carnohan, Greek,
Coe and Maerkle answering roll call. Attorney Swirsky, Engineer Short, Pipeline Superir
tendent Tucker, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Dawson and office secretary were also present.
The President then announced that the notice of adjourmnent of the regular meeting
of April 19, 1960, to this date, as required by Section 54955, Government Code, State oJ
California, had been duly posted and the affidavit of said posting was to be made a part
of the records of the district.
President Kelly stated the first matter to be considered was the question of the Squire5
dam site. He addressed Mr. and Mrs. Dawson, stating the Board would like to see what
their ideas were and let them know what ours are and try to come to some sort of a
decision.
He said we are in a position where we must do something for the District to get adequah
storage, and perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Dawson would like to state what they had in mind sand
how they felt about it,
Mr. Dawson said he would proceed from our letter of February 18, 1960 stating that we
were going to have our engineer look at the site and make a report, and he asked if this
much as he could determine at this point, it would be feasible. He stated briefly dthat
the reservoir is located in a location and at an elevation that conforms with hydraulics
of the dam. As to area he stated he had reported to the Board the Health Department
requirements on open reseryoirs. It will be necessary to import a fairly large quanti3
of material for the core, but this does not create too great a problem.
Mrs. Dawson asked the engineer if he had determined at what level the water would go
into the dam and he replied at very nearly at the bottom. She then asked at what level
delivery would be and he replied 10 or 15 feet above the very bottom.

had been done o The engineer said he had, but the study was not very complete As
1 Mr. Dawson stated we apparently started out with 450 ft. dam then changed dam require-
ments and made it higher. The engineer said they investigated two different dams at
the same location and their recommendation is based on the larger dam site.
Mrs. Dawson stated they weren't at all pleased with the additional acreage to be taken
in. The engineer replied it was actually beyond the control of the District as we are
alternative would be to build a filtration plant and if the District had to add a
filtration plant it would not be feasible.
Mr. Dawson continued by saying they had had no specific response to their letter, so
it was evident the Board did not want to proceed on the basis outlined in their letter,
so that was out, ,He said all they had received from us was the map showing the boundar:
He knew we had had Mr. Seden, the appraiser, in there to look it oyer and presumed
he had reported back to us. On the basis of this appraisal, Mr. Dawson asked the Board
just what they proposed to offer them for the land.
President Kelly stated the Board had not really had time to really think about it. It
was dependent on a lot of things. One thing, in their letter they requested water and
he said it occured to him that under the present situation their water supply was far
off and very difficult to get and they would be at a great expense to get water.
President Kelly said it hadn't been discussed by the Board, but his thought was if
they wanted to sell this property and would give the District the site, and the District
get water to them, it would raise the value gf their land, Mr. and Mrs, Dawson both
informed the Bdrard they weren't interested in getting the water on their land, nor
would they consider giving them the site.
The engineer stated this had been one of the points where there has been some confusion
in the minds of. the Board members. In their letter of February 7, 1960 in which they
submitted their proposal they mentioned as one of the conditions:
required to go that far by the State and County Health Department, The only other

"The District agrees to negotiate and obtain, within 90 days after exercising
I
the option, an agreement with the Bueno Colorado Municipal Water District
for suppfying water from the impounded waters in the proposed Squires Canyon
Damsite or from supply lines leading thereto, for the benefit of Seller's
carrying charges .? remaining lands within the Bueno Colorado Municipal Water District at reasonable
The Dawsons replied they did not want Colorado River water at any time, They have all
of the canyon which they do not expect to sell, which has ,water springs. Mrs. Dawson
said if she sold to the north of the dam site she didn't know whether it would be
feasible to get water out of the lake or pump it from their pipe line.
The engineer stated the District is interested in acquiring certain properties useful
in serving it's function to this District. The Dawsons have some interest in receiving
a water supply for a portion of their land which does not have an adequate supply for
development. The District couldn't pay for one and give away another, It would have
to amount to an exchange, both having a value, and if not we must only talk about the
value of the land.
Mr. and Mrs. Dawson said they couldn't discuss the price until they know what the
lines and bounardaries were. Their thought was to figure the value of the land above
400 feet and above 500 feet.
The attorney stated he had a couple other things in their proposal he wanted to discuss,
With reference to the purchase price, the terms quoted were $8,5O(lClO initially, and
successive payments for three years. He asked the Dawsons if from their standpoint it
would make any difference if the price were paid in full. Mrs. Dawson replied they
did not want cash and preferred 29% installment sale. The attorney stated there was
one point he hadn't been able to check yet. To build the reservoir would require a
bond sale sometime in thejfuture. The Dawsons, in their letter stated there could be
no more or no less paid in any one year, and it is possible there would be a problem
if the land was encumbered by a Trust Deed.
Lengthy discussion was held between the Board and the Dawsons with respect to easement
the Board and the Davsons.
The Dawsons asked if the Board wanted to make an offer, or if the Board would advise
them the price the land had been appraised at. After discussion, the Board advised
them the figure was $48,750.00. The Dawsons advised the Board their figure would be
twice this amount.
After further discussion, it was decided nothing could be accomplished until survey was
made, and the Board requested permission from Mr. and Mrs. Dawson to have entry to their
land for a survey crew, which they. gave and left the meeting at 4:lO P.M.
The Board discussed haying a core drilling before reaching a final decision. The engine
advised the Board it was something that would have to be done anyway and it would be bes
to do it first and recommended to the Board they get an expert geolpgist. dThe attorney
